This message covers a couple of issues:

First up: The Church is basically unrestricted. and while the streamed has been very helpful through this pandamic, its time to come back to the Live Mass. I encourage all to come back and recieve the Eucharist, something streaming just can't do.  Please encourage others of family and friends.  If you've been vaccinated you don't need to wear a mask!

As the parish is returning to live Mass it UNMASKS other needs: Ushers and Lectors. This is the kind of need where Knights shine! Please consider stepping up and into the breach. Please call the parish office for the right contact information.

Fr. Jeff would also like to see us (Knights) sponsor a coffee & donuts once a month like we used to.  Maybe even see if we could do a pancake breakfast again. I was in Everett WA, 2 weekends ago, the Kniights at Mary Magdaline there were having a breakfast.

Here is a fun project a few of us discused improptu after the 11 Am Mass:

Producing a short 'commercial' to run after the streaming Mass to encourage return to live.   I'll spend some time creating a first draft of a script: thinking of something like the old Berma Shave sign sequences before the driveway, OR some one with one of those arrow signs they dance and spin around with on the corner, OR a big NEON sign (all virtual photoshop stuff) pointing into the parking lot.  We'll need people and cars to roll by and into the lot, and set up a shot of a FULL lot.  Let me know if you are interested in any part of this.

God bless you all and your families, hope to see you face to face soon.
